It seems to be a widely held opinion that the English are not good at learning/speaking other languages.  Is this another myth? 

How many POE members speak another language/languages well enough to converse in that language?

This should be interesting!  Are we going to blow another myth away or prove it as a fact?? lol

I am unable to speak another language CathyML and admire those who can. When I went to school, we didn't know where France was......pity we eventually found out! Lol

I did go to Staples once, bought some paper and stuff.

They spoke to me in English but the question was can you speak another language?
